Question About Push-rods...

Hi all...
I have a sport car with Ls1 engine. I'll install a cam I bought it form COMP with #: 54-444-11.The engine heads are standered.

MY QUESTION IS: what is the length of the push-rod that I should use.

please inform me.

If its a stock motor, stock heads, stock head gasket a set of Hardend 7.400" pushrods will work fine. If any of the above things have been changed you should use a push rod length checker to get it dialed in.

How thick are the stock pushrods? Also is, 7.4" the stock length for the ls1?

Are they weak?
